NEBOSH Working with Wellbeing

About the course:

This one-day course sets out to develop learners understanding of the most important aspects of occupational wellbeing, by providing the knowledge and skills that are needed to positively influence employee wellbeing within the workplace.

Employee health and wellbeing has a direct influence on productivity and the quality of performance at work. As such, it’s incredibly important to have workplace wellbeing considered as part of your organisation’s operations, and where applicable, your management of health and safety as a whole.

• Reduce staff turnover
• Reduce accidents and injuries
• Increase employee satisfaction and engagement
• Reduce sickness absence
• Increase productivity

This course provides a fresh approach to wellbeing that can be applied to any role, any sector, across the world. By the end of the course, learners will be able to understand what wellbeing is and why it matters, how wellbeing can be improved in different ways, and how to intervene to improve wellbeing in the workplace.
